And with this, the 32nd novelette, " – only to sit – ", comes to a close:
-
A prodigal starts with ten thousand pounds, and dies worth nothing; a miser starts with nothing, and does worth ten thousand pounds. It has been asked which has had the best of it? I should presume the prodigal; he has spent a fortune — but the miser has only left one; — he has lived rich, to die poor; the miser has lived poor, to die rich; and if the prodigal quits life in debt to others, the miser quits it, still deeper in debt to himself.
Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 2, § 131 (1822)More about this quote: wist.info/colton-charles-caleb…

Dear Friends of a #different #Kind, 🪶
I was on #Tooting #common this #morning. Not 'Commons' as the SUV #elites #delight in dividing for their #unthink-tanks to drive through. :gi:
A group of #Wombles from #Wimbledon have planted ye #olde sturdy #oaks from a golf course, also an invasion onto common land. I also noted two #trees broken in two by spoiled #children. In a sense we are all #spoiled and then grow under trees or #daisies. Or on the moon or Mars of the future, in some #extravagant ostentation of irrelevance and #irreverence. Dead is dead. 👻
Half a tree may grow. Half a planet may #survive. Maybe. It is a question of #inevitability Mr Anderson, Nothing Neo under the Sol Matrix, stars or #multiverse... or is there? :ablobcatcoffee:
Always there is. More. More #incomprehensible, more to #wonder. More to do #better. What fun for the #unicorns and trans-rainbows and critters we save. :ablobcatbouncefast:
